You're right, it does sound medieval, but it also sounds good to me.
I can't see how it costs more to kill a criminal than it does to imprison one. In this day and age, isn't DNA evidence the sincher in criminal prosecution cases? Maybe there were some bugs earlier on but I think the systems pretty foolproof now (I could be wrong).
For me, putting a criminal to death does not mean housing them for extended periods of time. Simple, found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, die. No book deals, no made for TV specials, no good food, death.
I care not about the criminals rights (they shouldn't have them) I care much more about the victim and the victims families. There lives are altered forever and it's unfair which is why their called victims.
